STOCKHOLM, March 15 (Reuters) - Sweden's centre-right
government has lined up investment bank Carnegie and law firm
Vinge as advisers for a sale of state-owned Vectura Consulting,
a source with knowledge of the matter said on Friday.

Marketing information on the transport infrastructure
consultant, which had sales of about 1.3 billion Swedish crowns
($202 million) last year, is expected to be sent to potential
buyers in mid-April, the source said on condition of anonymity
because he was not authorised to speak publicly about the
process.

The sale of Vectura begins amid growing speculation that the
government, which has pushed a privatisation agenda since it was
first elected in 2006, could move to sell some of its much more
valuable stake in Nordea Bank.

The speculation has come after Nordea's share price rose
above the level at which the government last sold some of its
shares in 2011. The government then sold 6.3 percent of Nordea
to institutional investors at 74.5 crowns a share to raise 19
billion crowns ($3 billion). The shares stood at 74.95 crowns at
1506 GMT.
